Nagaland, Mar 14 (ANI): Northeast India is blessed with rich natural resources and having an agro-climatic condition, the region has a huge potential in the field mineral industry, education sector and in various other sectors in the country. To achieve such heights, the first and foremost requirement and steps towards growth and development is accessibility and quality roads to all, as roads are the lifelines of every community and nation. After thirteen years since the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee visited Nagaland in 2003 and announced four laning of national highway roads, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, laid the foundation stone in 2015 at Patkai Bridge, Chumukedima in Nagaland. The four lane road project has been kick-start by clearing off the jungle along the route on National Highway 39 covering 42.48 kms between Dimapur and Kohima. With all the required machineries at the work site along with the workers, the work on four laning is going on full swing.

Angela Rangad talks to Newsclick about the struggle being waged in Meghalaya against the acquisition of natural resources for 'developmental' projects like hydro electric power plants etc. She explains how land is linked to issues of identity and ethnicity in the North-East and argues that mining projects in Jaintia Hills, Khasi Hills and the Lumshnong district have led not only to environmental hazards but also a blatant violation of human rights. She says the Sixth Schedule, which gives constitutional protection to community ownership of land, is now up for amendment which could potentially take away people's right over natural resources. She feels therefore, that there is an urgent need for widening alliances across the country to intensify this resistance.

India’s Northeast region (NER) is endowed with huge untapped natural resources and is acknowledged as the eastern gateway for the country’s ‘Look East Policy’.

HEADLINE: Pa. farmers hope for natural gas windfall
---------------------------------------
CAPTION: Farmers in Northeast Pennsylvania are leasing their land to natural gas companies and hoping for a multi-million dollar windfall. (July 14)
----------------------------------------
[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]
NB. THIS IS A VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPT, NOT A FULL SHOT LIST.
((Susquehanna County, PA))
NATS: cow noises
It may look like an ordinary Pennsylvania farm - but what lies beneath appears to be worth millions of dollars.
NATS: rooster
Before she realized the REAL cash cow on her farm, Elizabeth Downey put the land up for sale, needing money to keep the family afloat.
((Elizabeth Downey, Farm Owner))
"We needed the money to help raise this child."
But in what has become an everyday occurrence here, a better offer came her way.
NATS: natural gas well being drilled
She leased her property to a natural gas company, and stands to make millions of dollars over the next several years in royalties.
NATS: rooster crowing.
There's a land rush underway here.
Just over two years ago "land men," many from Texas; started leasing mineral rights from landowners here for as little as two dollars an acre.
Now, the going rate has skyrocketed to 2 thousand, 500 dollars an acre, for a five year lease.
((Tom Murphy, Penn State University))
"You have whole communities that have essentially won the lottery, because of these lease payments."
Tom Murphy is an agriculturalist from nearby Penn State University.
"This is a huge mineral resource that's coming to market at a time the market is asking for more and more gas. There is really no land for sale any more. In about the last six to eight months any land that came to the marketplace has disappeared."
The source of the fuel, and thus the wealth, is a 300-million year old land formation called the Marcellus Shale that stretches from West Virginia to upstate New York.
((Ted Shaffrey, The Associated Press))
((Susquehanna County, PA))
"Geologists have known for more than a century that the thick, hard shale here contains lots of natural gas.
"But it wasn't until now that it made economic sense to go deep underground and unlock it in large quantities.
"New drilling technologies and rising fuel costs have changed all that.
"But here in Northwestern Pennsylvania, the natural gas market is purely speculative.
"Not even one cubic foot has been extracted and brought to market. Yet."
NATS: tractor
Ted Barbour stands to make 15 percent of all the natural gas mined from his family farm - if it produces.
"Hope changes a lot of things, and there's a lot of hope here this is going to be a big thing. But that's tempered with the fact they haven't put a pipeline in yet."
Gas companies and others have plans to build a pipeline from these farmland wells into the huge markets of New York City, Philadelphia and other densely populated areas in the northeast - by the end of this year.
Lester Greevy and Dale Tice are attorneys who broker deals between land owners and oil companies - and business is good.
((Lester Greevy, Lawyer))
"Just the energy crunch created a perfect storm."
((Dale Tice, Lawyer))
"Who knows how high the prices are going to go? A lot of certainty and a lot of excitement right now."
Geologists speculate some of these prospect wells may produce up to three million cubic feet a day of natural gas.

Charles Chaw, producer of 6 episodes "Inside China Next Powerhouse", presents the opportunities of Northeastern China. In this last part of the final episode concluded in his ending speech: "As China enters into a new phase of growth, a demand for natural resources, need for innovation, and reliance on heavy industries were never been greater. The NE region's natural resources and its heavy industries, form the pillars for China's economic growth.
Like China in the past, the Northeast region has been ignored for a long time. There's an abundant of human resources, and R&D capabilities, can help transform China into a true economic powerhouse. Perhaps, being indifferent to the region is no longer an option."

Assam, Dec 04 (ANI): Endowed with rich natural resources and suitable climatic conditions, the Northeast region provides a perfect environment for the cultivation of vegetables and fruits. While it has huge potential in horticulture production, the region has to depend on other states due to lack of good quality seedlings. In a move to be self-reliant, the first of its kind agri hub nursery was inaugurated at the horticulture farm on Assam Agriculture University campus in Jorhat. It has been developed at a cost of Rs. 15 crores financed under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikash Yojana. The nursery will annually produce 48 lakhs seedlings of various vegetables and seasonal flowers. This new project will give a huge boost to production and ultimately help in generating more income for the farmers.

Managing Our Changing Forests Webinar Series
May 2018 Webinar
Managing Our Changing Forests Webinar Series is a collaboration of UVM Extension, Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation, and UVM Forestry
Presenter: René H. Germain, Professor, Department of Forest and Natural Resources Management, SUNY-ESF
Description: Economic sustainability of logging businesses is critical to successful forest management. Rising expectations in conjunction with market trends can result in increased logging costs. This webinar will share a recent study that examined factors influencing logger profitability across a variable forested landscape. Interviews were conducted with loggers across New York and Northern Pennsylvania. The machine rate method was used to calculate operating expenses, profit margin and return on investment (ROI) of individual jobs. Regression analysis identified significant variables influencing profit and ROI. According to this study, almost half of the logging operations observed were losing money on individual jobs. The presentation will share the results of the study and implications for contract rates and the future of the logging industry.

Support us : https://www.instamojo.com/@exambin/ Download our app : http://examb.in/app Welcome back to the fourth lesson on geography here we are going to see about natural vegetation of india lecture which will be helpful for your preparations with climate of natural vegetation of india UPSC/IAS
Natural vegetation refers to a plant community that has been left undisturbed over a long time. So as to allow its individual species to adjust themselves to climate and soil conditions as fully as possible.
India is a land of great variety of natural vegetation. india climate Himalayan heights are marked with temperate vegetation; the Western Ghats and the Andaman Nicobar Islands have tropical rain forests, the deltaic regions have tropical forests and mangroves; physical divison the desert and semi desert areas of Rajasthan are known for cacti, a wide variety of bushes and thorny vegetation.
On the basis of certain common features such as predominant vegetation type and climatic regions, Indian forests can be divided into the following groups:
Types of Forests
Tropical Evergreen Forests
• Tropical evergreen forests have an Avg. Rainfall of 200 cm and Avg. temp. Of 24°C.
• It is found at Hot & Humid areas of India like Western Ghats, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Eastern India.
• Tropical deciduous forests are Tall & Dense with their height ranging from 45 – 60 mts. The Trees compete & rise high in wildflife to get sunlight
• Ex. Rubber, Coconut, Ebony, Mahogany, Palms
Tropical Deciduous Forests
• Deciduous forests have an Avg. Rainfall of100 - 200 cm and their avg height is 25 – 45 mts.
• They Shed their leaves in summers due to shortage of water which is a natural resources
• It is Found at Shiwaliks, Ganga valley, Western Ghats, North Eastern India
• They are Economically very important forests because we get majority of raw wood from these forests for Ex. Sal, Teak, Shisham, Sandalwood, Deodar, Mahua
Tropical dry Forests
• Tropical dry forests have an Avg. Rainfall of 50 to 100 cm and they are Less dense & their size ranges from 6 – 9 mts,
• Their Roots are thick & long to use underground water and the Thick Bark prevents undue evaporation
• They are Found in Punjab, Haryana, MP, Eastern Rajasthan, Central Deccan Plateau
• Most of the areas are used for agriculture
Arid or Desert Forests
• Desert forest has an Avg. Rainfall of less than 50 cm.
• Prominent features of desert forests are Small leaves, Thick Bark, Long Roots
• Indian wild date is common in these deserts
• It is Found at Western Rajasthan, South West Haryana, Punjab, and In some parts of Gujrat
• Ex. Small sized kikar, Babul, Acacia, Bushes & Shrubs
Tidal Forests
• These forests grow along the coast and on the edges of the deltas
• Famous for Mangrove & Sundari Trees
• Consists of thick Bushes & Ferns
• They are Known as Halophytes i.e. Tolerant of Salinity
• Found at Sundarbans, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Deltas of Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna & Kavery
Mountain forests
• Mountain forests vary considerably along the slopes of mountain
• On the foothills of Himalayas, upto a height of 1500 meters, evergreen trees, (Sal, teak, bamboo and cane) grow abundantly.
• On higher slope between 1,500 meters to 3,500 meters, temperate conifer trees (pine, fir, oak, maple, deodar, laurel spruce, cedar) grow.
• At the higher altitude of the Himalayas, rhododendrons and junipers are found.
Forest cover in India
• According to the India State of Forest Report (ISFR) 2015, the forest area covers 21.34 per cent of the total land area of the country.
• The forest area is the area notified and recorded as the forest land irrespective of the existence of trees, while the actual forest cover is the area occupied by forests with canopy.
Forest Conservation
Forests have an intricate interrelationship with life and environment. These provide numerous direct and indirect advantages to our economy and society.
Hence, conservation of forest is of vital importance to the survival and prosperity of humankind.
Accordingly, the Government of India proposed to have a nation-wide forest conservation policy, and adopted a forest policy in 1952, which was further modified in 1988.
The forest policy aimed at:
• bringing 33 per cent of the geographical areas under forest cover;
• maintaining environmental stability and to restore forests where ecological balance was disturbed;
• conserving the natural heritage of the country, its biological diversity and genetic pool.
